 '''Description:''' A demo for a custom Payday 2 track. This is an updated version from a previously submitted assignment. The aim of this was to improve on the sections that was originally there, extending them to full length, and while some of the sections features new backing tracks, redone instruments, and new sounds, I definitely wish I could have done more for the project. With each section (the stealth segment, control, anticipation, and assault phases), there were additional musical ideas I didn't have time to add. That being said however, my favorite section was the second half of the assault phase, with the bass line from the original demo, plus the redesigned synths and backing track.

 '''Description:''' For this piece, I was aiming for something simultaneously calm yet chaotic. The melody and harmony (mostly) remain calm while the drums fly by at 197 bpm 16th notes creating some sense of urgency. Didn't have as much time to design the timbres as I might have liked, but I think they turned out okay.

 '''Description:''' This is a piece inspired by a lot of my favorite music I usually see described as "dungeon synth". I stole most of the instrumentation from one of my previous works, but this time I put a lot more thought into refining the arrangement and mixing of the song.

+'''Description:''' This piece of music is informally titled “Tremendous Mess”, and was inspired by my relationship with my physics major. I have always been fascinated with physics and am therefore pursuing it as a major, but at the same time it is one of the most complicated and frustrating things I have ever studied. A tremendous mess. The voice present in the piece is that of Richard Feynman, the father of physics pedagogy, giving a lecture about how we perceive light. When I was composing the instrumentals, I felt I needed a vocal track, but didn’t feel like composing lyrics. I added Feynman’s voice as a placeholder of sorts, and found that his speech patterns fit the song surprisingly well. This was also where I got the title of the song, and the idea to relate it to physics. In terms of musical components, I utilized panning on Feynman’s voice and the instrumentals, not only to make each more clear, but also to fill the room better. I also mirrored some of the chord patterns in each of the instruments, while still changing different aspects, to make each part work better together.
